The Invincible V-Strom

The venerable Suzuki DL 650 is a bike which "neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night" can possibly "stay from its appointed rounds." As a longtime Harley rider, I bought mine in '08 just to keep the miles off my FLH, and as a economical commuter/errand runner. I came to appreciate its sheer ugliness, relatively awesome performance, agile quickness and ability to take short sojourns off-road.

Had no idea what it was all about till I got on the lap top...for some reason this vid wouldn't play on the phone,,,yeah, V Stroms are good, but definitely not amphibious. Dude, didn't you see the submerged car?...Doh!
